I’ve been doing my daily sketch challenge for just over 2.5 weeks now and I’m really loving it.
I like having the daily commitment to painting something, it really has become the highlight of my day.
It’s also so satisfying to see a collection of work growing. All different subjects but a similar style. I’m using watercolour because it’s fairly loose and sketchy and I can paint quite quickly without too much detail. It’s not a medium I have used a lot in my life so it’s also a wonderful learning experience for me.
I’m hoping to keep going for a while and eventually will aim to list all the paintings for sale. I have a few favourites but it’s been really interesting to see what resonates with everyone on here!
I’ve also been so pleasantly surprised by the engagement these videos are getting. For years I have felt quite uninspired when posting on here. You go to the effort of making a reel or post and hardly get any views. But these posts are actually doing quite well so it’s giving me a bit of a confidence boost which I kinda needed!!
So thank you if you have been following along and being a cheerleader! I am eternally grateful 🙏🥰❤️ it’s hard sharing your art sometimes because you open yourself for criticism and judgement but it so lovely to feel the positivity from you all 🥰🥰🥰

But I still wouldn’t want to change it for the world! I really love working for myself.

At the moment I’m in an extreme quiet period which is a bit scary. The economy is tough right now and I am hearing many small businesses saying the same. Fingers crossed we all get through it!! 🤞🤞🤞
For any small businesses out there…what things do you love/not so much about your business? I’d love to hear!!
Gorgeous 📷 ❤️

I’ve been enjoying painting my abstract landscape collection so much. They’ve become a bit of a go to when I just fancy some gentle escapism. They seem to appear quite organically and I trust the process entirely, choosing colours depending on my mood and experimenting with different marks to create texture.
Some have been inspired by photographs and others are purely imaginary. It’s so nice to see them all together and remember different phases. I started off with gentle pastel shades, almost ethereal water scenes, and more recently have been drawn to brighter colours and creating more depth with the idea of fields and mountains.
I love that a collection can just keep growing and evolving and take new directions every so often. Working with watercolours and oil sticks are two very therapeutic mediums as they have a spontaneity of their own and they really lead the way. I feel like they are guiding the paintings without any preconceived ideas of the end result.
I am hoping to add some to my website for sale very soon so let me know if you have your eye on one. Would love to hear your thoughts on the collection so far.
